Riverland Dubai

Riverland Dubai: The Ultimate Destination for Food, Fun, and Adventure

Recreating picturesque locations from the four corners of the world, Riverland Dubai is a free-entry theme park in Dubai with a man-made river, cobbled stone streets, and elegant bistros. A perfect weekend getaway for teenagers and families on a budget. 

There are four special zones that offer shopping, entertainment, and dining in a variety of cuisines and cultures. The 1-kilometer-long river is lined with over 50 eateries, cafes, and retail establishments.

The Peninsula : Riverland Dubai

Dating back to the architectural theme of the 19th century, The Peninsula features a massive bridge connected to the piazza. A large outdoor venue where visitors can enjoy concerts and festivals. Do check out authentic Italian pasta and pizza at Viva Ristorante.

India Gate : Riverland Dubai

Here you will find traditional drummers paying homage to the Indian film industry and architecture reminiscent of the streets of Mumbai. You can savour pani puri at Bol Gappa if you’ve ever seen TikTok’s of the tantalising Indian street cuisine. The India Gate embraces you with a royal Asian flair.

Boardwalk : Riverland Dubai

Jugglers and street artists line this American era of the 1950s. A perfect spot for those with a sweet tooth or who simply like to end their meals on dessert. Lofty structures, Californian palm trees, and neon signs truly bring together the spirit of the land of the free. Don’t miss out on TGI Fridays for the perfect American cheeseburger and a scoop from Ella’s Creamery. 

Motiongate theme park is right next to this district, so you head over there next for a thrilling ride while still experiencing the American dream. 

The French Village : Riverland Dubai

Cobblestone streets are the definition of old Europe. Here you experience the charm of France in the 1600s in the windy alleyways and rotating water wheels. Gallery One for paintings and Wired Up for custom jewellery both have unique features that appeal to art lovers, so you can finally get those matching pendants with your loved ones! Adding onto the artistic touch, the coffee here is vibrant.

If you’re looking for a little extra adventure, head over to Legoland theme and water park, located behind the French village for a child-friendly day filled with riveting rides
